Pick Up this Great Kit for Building Season

Building season is just around the corner and it's time to looking for your winter projects. Peter Goldsmith has an awesome retro sailplane kit that looks great and should fly even better. The Foxbat can be built as a pure glider or you can set it up for ALES with an electric power system. Peter has just started to get kits together so if you want one, you'll need to send him a message to get on the list.

The kit costs $280 plus about $10 in shipping. He said he tried to keep the costs down as much as possible to encourage people to pick up building again. The skills you learn while building will help you greatly in the RC hobby and there is nothing like the feeling of flying a model that you built yourself. You should give it a try!

Randy, Pete designed this ship in the late '70's when still in Australia. It has been accepted for Nostaglia legality, and like anything Pete, is nicely engineered. Pete is laser cutting the kit himself, Barry Kennedy is distributing the kit. I have one on the way myself.
